"FOREVER GREENERY" SYMPATHY CARD


"Forever Greenery" is a beautiful product suite from Stampin' Up!  Whether you combine several products (stamps, dies, embossing folders, DSP, gold hoops) or use any of them individually, they will not disappoint.  Everyone knows that any colors can be used with any craft products but, if you're like me, you often create by assumption (auto pilot) rather than ingenuity.  What I mean is that when you see leaves (for example), you think various shades of green.  As you can see from this card, two of my leafy stems are unexpected colors--Pool Party and Sahara Sand.  


The color of the card itself (Pretty Peacock) I found to be striking.  I wish I could take full credit for the awesomeness of this design, but I stole CASE'd it from Chandra Junck's gorgeous card that I saw on Instagram.  I may not have used the exact same colors that she used, and I definitely used a different (unusual) card base design.  My card base was approximately 4" x 4-1/2", and the longer decorated panel was adhered to the card front so that about 1/2" extended over the top and bottom edges of the card.  

Stampin' Up! products featured on this card include:
Pretty Peacock cardstock
Pool Party cardstock
Sahara Sand cardstock
Pear Pizzazz cardstock
Whisper White cardstock
Greenery embossing folder
Gold Hoop

I really like this card. Now that I have the suite (and your tutorial), I can case this card as well!
